Classics of the environmental imagination?the essays of Henry David Thoreau, John Muir, and John Burroughs; Aldo Leopold?s A Sand County Almanac ; Rachel Carson?s Silent Spring ?are set against the inspiring story of an emerging activist movement, as revealed by newly uncovered reports of pioneering campaigns for conservation, passages from landmark legal opinions and legislation, and searing protest speeches. Here are some of America?s greatest and most impassioned writers, taking a turn toward nature and recognizing the fragility of our situation on earth and the urgency of the search for a sustainable way of life. Thought-provoking essays on overpopulation, consumerism, energy policy, and the nature of ?nature? join ecologists? memoirs and intimate sketches of the habitats of endangered species. The anthology includes a detailed chronology of the environmental movement and American environmental history, as well as an 80-page color portfolio of illustrations. Review: An absolute essential. - My church's environmental team sponsors a book group. We have all been surprised, challenged, and inspired by the selections in this anthology which ranges from Thoreau through the twenty-first century. Over a thousand pages with a wide variety of perspectives and writing styles, the survey introduces readers to the founders as well as unexpected and underappreciated voices in American environmental writing. Review: A great read for today's world - "American Earth" is a fantastic summary/anthology of not just environmental writing but also a reflection of American patriotism in it's purest form. The book provides essential essays, speeches and excerpts from longer works that reveal how we as a country became aware of our problem with our planet. Everything from "Walden" to "Silent Spring" and beyond is here. The creators of the pieces are all true patriots- they love the country in it's purest sense and fight to preserve it. Reading there words is an inspiration to anyone who is interested in awakening to what is truly our biggest and most daunting long-term challenge. The book also has many wonderful photos and pictures adapted to the times and the subject matter in the book. Heartily, heartily recommended. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #43,115 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #59 in Outdoors & Nature Reference #81 in Nature Writing & Essays #131 in Environmentalism | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 241 Reviews | ## Images ![American Earth: Environmental Writing Since Thoreau (LOA #182) (Library of America) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61t8PPJ1zOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute essential. *by K***N on June 14, 2022* My church's environmental team sponsors a book group.

Well thought out compendium that could easily serve as a single source for college courses. What is perhaps more important is that the various references mentioned or quoted within the book make a great roadmap to get you headed towards even more sources. Unfortunately, much has happened since its publication -- although nothing should be removed. Never-the-less, this is an outstanding source. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/3608854-american-earth-environmental-writing-since-thoreau-loa-182-library-america](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/3608854-american-earth-environmental-writing-since-thoreau-loa-182-library-america) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
